America's Test Kitchen Season 5 | Cooking Show DVD | Gourmet Recipes & Culinary Techniques | Perfect for Home Chefs & Food Enthusiasts

The shows are excellent. I found the quality of the production to be very good. The recipes are great, the episodes are fun to watch and they are often humorous. I personally would prefer more cooking and less equipment and product taste testing, but that is just a personal preference.[Note: There are no recipes included on these DVD's - of any season - until Season 9. Season 9 does have recipes. Presumably they will be included in future editions, as well. Clearly they wanted to sell the recipes either in the companion book or online, so it is to their credit they have started including the recipes on the DVD's. Also, there seem to be parts of episodes missing from the DVD's that were part of the actual season. The web site has all the episodes listed with each and every recipe they did.]I have copies of all seasons and I would recommend them in spite of these issues because they are very helpful, instructive, and fun to watch.You can get all old seasons on their web site for 50% off and with quite reasonable shipping costs.
